Drum Corps International has formed a partnership with Silent Command, a full-service educational consulting company dedicated to the development of young adults through the marching arts.
Silent Command runs in-person and virtual educational clinics across the country, hosts an at-home learning platform, and designs accessible productions for marching music programs throughout the calendar year.
Silent Command will be a participating sponsor of the Drum Major Leadership Summit at the 2026 DCI Annual Meetings in Indianapolis. This multi-day event serves as an annual gathering geared toward the education and networking for drum corps student leaders. Additionally, Silent Command will have a presence in the Festival Marketplace at the DCI World Championships.
“The team at Silent Command has made a name for themselves in the marching arts community when it comes to educating and training young leaders,” said DCI CEO Nate Boudreaux. “Their staff is made up of many current and former drum majors from DCI corps and we’re excited to have them on board as one of our educational partners.”
Silent Command’s areas of specialty include leadership, conducting, visual, movement, color guard, and design. The organization also provides trusted advisory to ensembles at all levels of the marching arts activity, both in the United States and internationally.
“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Drum Corps International to help shape the next generation of performers in the marching arts,” said Sharbel Skaff, CEO of Silent Command. “Through this collaboration, we will expand access to training and resources for all current and aspiring DCI members, empowering them to achieve their goals both on and off the field.”
